A really profitable blog isn't passive at all. You spend a lot of time creating content and optimizing things.

You could potentially farm out the work but that applies to a lot of businesses. :)

I have a technical blog/youtube and most of the "profit" is from having that on my resume.

How often do you post to your technical blog / youtube channel?

I'm in the process of looking at blogging tools to do something very similar. I'm kinda worried about having a history though in a few years that shows I only post during interview times :D.

Eh, I don't think people will look that closely at the time. Probably more like "How long has it been since they last posted" at best.

I don't post that often. When I get stuck on a problem because of poor documentation or poor explanations I just make a tut off that. Mostly focused on other things right now though. Making a video is a lot of work. Come up with a project, a script, rewriting your explanation, fill in your gaps in info, voice recording, video editing. It adds up.
